Topical Vancomycin for Prevention of Surgical Site Infection after Craniotomy: Meta-analysis and Systematic Literature Review by Ahmed Saleh (3150639)

“…</p><h3>Methods</h3><p dir="ltr">Multiple electronic health databases were searched to identify all the studies published from July 1988 to July 2021 that examined the role of application of topical vancomycin in reduction of the risk of surgical site infection after craniotomy (cSSIs). Effect sizes were expressed in pooled odds ratio (OR) estimates and, because of heterogeneity between studies, random effect of the inverse variance weighted method was used to perform the meta-analysis.…”

The relationship of soluble neuropilin-1 to severe COVID-19 risk factors in polycystic ovary syndrome by Abu Saleh Md Moin (6189512)

“…<p dir="ltr">The SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus enters target cells via the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor; however, ACE2 expression does not match SARS-CoV-2 tissue load, suggesting additional co-factors are required for viral entry [1]. Neuropilin-1 (NRP1) is such a co-factor that, when expressed alone shows minimal viral infectivity, but when co-expressed with ACE2 markedly increases viral infectivity [1]. …”

SARS-CoV-2 Variants in Lebanon by Al Kodsi, Ibrahim
